 The Accelerator is almost like a family member and this is like a family home. I'm Mahananda Dasgupta and I work at the heavy iron accelerator facility at the ANU. It is where I do all my research. So this is the control room of the accelerator. We can monitor all the parameters of the accelerator and we can control each of the 600 plus elements of the accelerator sitting here. The heavy iron accelerator facility is coming up to a 50 years old. It is one of three highest energy iron accelerators of this type in the world. It accelerates particles to very high velocities. So it can go up to, for example, protons up to 30,000 kilometers per second. And what does that do? What essentially it does is it is like an extremely sharp stick with which you can poke the heart of the atom which is the nucleus. You can see what it does. You can bring two nuclei together. So I stare at this place more often than I stare at the back of my hand. It is not just a scientific investment. It is somehow an emotional connection to a piece of infrastructure which has given me personally a lot in order to make scientific advances. If you are using the other accelerator, it comes along, gets accelerated over in that arm, goes around and then gets sent here. Why is this torturous path? Because we didn't have enough space to put the accelerator. This lab is an integral part of my being. I am deeply connected to the lab much more than I am connected to my home. You will see there are instruments to control the beam of particles, make it the shape we desire, move it in X and Y direction and monitor it at all times. As a tower for us, it is a tower of strength because it has stood there for the last 50 years pushing out, helping us push out great science together with the technical staff and the academic ideas we are able to innovate. It is an Australian triumph, I would say.
